She loves a meet-cute Netflix movie, her pet, Lady Catulet, and dreaming up the Gay Rom Com of her heart for the film festival competition she and her friends are entering. If only they\u2019d listen to her ideas. . .<br \/>\nSophia is pragmatic. She\u2019s big into boycotts, namely 1) relationships, 2) teen boys and their BO (reason #2347683 she\u2019s a lesbian), and 3) Emma\u2019s nauseating ideas. Forget starry-eyed romance, Sophia knows what will win: an artistic film with a message.<br \/>\nCue the drama. The movie is doomed before they even start shooting . . . until a real-life plot twist unfolds behind the camera when Emma and Sophia start seeing each other through a different lens. Suddenly their rivalry is starting to feel like an actual rom-com.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-03-04T11:00:22+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Thursday and welcome to my stop on the I THINK I LOVE YOU blog tour!

Where would you go to eat, hang out, relax, etc.?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emma and Sophia have a super fun (and not at all romantic, thank you very much) outing to the Seaglass Carousel in Battery Park. It\u2019s such a cute and fun spot in the city, so I\u2019d definitely include it in our day! I\u2019d also want to make them recreate their baking \u201cdate\u201d so I could have some of their lemon bars.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>If Emma and Sophia\u00a0were\u00a0to hang out with characters from other books, who would they be and why?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think Emma would love Rowan from Rachel Lynn Solomon\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today Tonight Tomorrow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They both love romance and storytelling, and Emma would definitely relate to Rowan\u2019s writing dreams! Sophia would probably be able to bond with Anna of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anna and the French Kiss<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, since she\u2019s just returned from a year studying abroad in Paris.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Would you rather be a superhero or a supervillain? And what would your powers and name be?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would want to be a supervillain who can talk to dogs. I just want to help take over the world on their behalf. They deserve it.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What does ownvoices queer representation mean to you?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think it\u2019s so important to make sure that teen readers can see themselves in stories! Representation plays a big part in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I Think I Love You<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because Emma is passionate about including positive bisexual representation in her movie. In that way, I think representation can be important to not only give queer readers the chance to see themselves in books, but encourage them to tell their own stories as well through that representation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What was your favorite bit of research you ended up not using?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I didn\u2019t have to do a ton of research for this book, but I did look up a lot of cute spots in New York City for fun romantic outings to include in the book.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t manage to squeeze in a scene in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens or the Ramble at Central Park, so I\u2019ll have to save them for a future book!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is your favorite quote, scene, or moment from\u00a0<\/b><b><i>I Think I Love You<\/i><\/b><b>?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My favorite scenes are the early, banter-filled ones. The repartee that comes with enemies-to-lovers is my favorite part of the trope! I particularly enjoyed writing the first scene where Emma sees Sophia for the first time in the book, and realizes she\u2019s home from Paris. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/green-clover-divder-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/green-clover-divder-1.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/green-clover-divder-1-300x40.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/green-clover-divder-1-768x101.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10923\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/About-the-Author-March-2021.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/About-the-Author-March-2021.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/About-the-Author-March-2021-300x59.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/About-the-Author-March-2021-768x150.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-10999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/auriane-desombre-author-pic-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/auriane-desombre-author-pic-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/auriane-desombre-author-pic-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/auriane-desombre-author-pic.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Auriane Desombre<\/strong> is the author of <em>I Think I Love You<\/em>, and works as a middle school teacher and freelance editor.
